Chapter Eighty-Five: An Amazing Move
Sima Liancheng's eyes widened, and his eyes looked at the scene in front of him incredulously.
The arrow array, which was a great threat to them before, has now collapsed.
"Tempest?"
Sima Liancheng held his right hand weakly, feeling the wind passing around him. I thought about this celestial phenomenon, and sure enough, there was a change. But how did this person get there? Is it because of the scorching sun array of these two?
"It's because of this scorching sun array!"
Losing the threat of the arrow array, even Yuan Lie dared to swagger up from the arrow avoidance point: "Few people know that the vast majority of wind power in this world is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang?"
Sima Liancheng couldn't help but turn his head and asked in astonishment: "Yin and Yang are out of balance?
"It's the unevenness of heat and cold, the temperature difference. The qi of heaven and earth rises when it is hot, and sinks when it is cold, which leads to the flow of wind. ”
Yuan Lie explained: "And the two Burning Sun Arrays can cause the surrounding temperature to rise sharply. In addition, the help of the opponent is also great. This water mist technique makes the temperature of dozens of miles in the vicinity far lower than the surrounding area. So I didn't need much preparation, it was easy for me to summon this Furious West. ”
Taoism also has the method of exhaling the wind, but to reach the current level, it also requires at least one first-grade true monarch-level magician, who is ready for more than half a moment before it can be completed. And there is a possibility that it will be detected in advance by the other side.
As for him Yuan Lie, if he has the help of the Dharma altar, he can also do it. But by the time he was preparing for this technique in this barricade, he had already been shot into a sieve by the other party.
"I see!"
Sima Liancheng actually didn't understand it, but he only needed to know that the changes in front of him were all due to Li Shimin's calculations.
He couldn't help but look sideways again, glanced at Li Shimin's back, and his voice was full of admiration: "I have heard that those who use soldiers in the world can know how to take advantage of the geographical advantages, and those who can make good use of the geographical advantages are qualified generals; on this basis, those who also know how to make good use of people's hearts are good generals; and if they can master the time, they can enter the forest of famous generals." This Li Duyu is waiting, and he must be able to enter the forest of the latter. ”
At this time, in the half-buried shelter, Empress Xiao also suddenly got up, her eyes shining. He looked out of the cave. And Tang Yuanhua, who was outside, knelt down towards Xiao Hou.
"Slave and maid, congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness has a discerning eye, and you will be able to turn danger into a disaster today!"
On Empress Xiao's side, Yang Ying was also on tiptoe, looking not far away, a figure who was commanding the arrow array, and his face was slightly complicated.
There is both surprise and admiration.
This guy still has such ability-

At the same time, the purple gold battle armor located in the square circle array looked at this scene with cold eyes, although his face was covered with armor, others could not see this person's expression, but he could still identify this person's mood through the surrounding and rapidly cooling qi.
"Why wasn't there an early warning?"
The man lowered his head and looked at a sorcerer dressed in green clothes beside him: "Don't tell me about this level of wind, you don't notice it at all." ”
The latter's face was pale, his body trembled, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only swallow a mouthful of saliva and said: "The other party should use the array of the scorching sun to disturb the yin and yang, causing the celestial phenomena to change." We didn't even wake up before they succeeded. ”
The man in the purple gold armor looked at him with a cloudy and sunny look, and his cold and piercing killing intent rose and fell. Until the cyan armor changed to his side: "Lord, the situation has changed, whether to advance or retreat! ”
His voice was dry, and his mood was obviously extremely annoyed.
"Of course it's a retreat!"
After the purple gold battle armor woke up, he first glanced at the other side with reluctance and resentment, and then resolutely ordered: "All the troops disperse at full speed, retreat to three hundred zhang, and there is no need to worry about the formation!"
After that, this one took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and hatred in his chest with all his might: "Inform Xuan Ting, let him command the iron cavalry, and try his best to contain the enemy formation." ”

"How the hell did this wind come from?"
A hundred feet away from the battlefield, the petite red armor was stunned for a while. And even the white-robed young man beside her was quite surprised, and he was stunned for a long time before he gradually woke up.
"I was also amazed, although I had some ominous premonitions before, but I was still shocked to see this scene with my own eyes. This change in the heavens is really amazing!"
His eyes were like torches, and he looked at the barricade in the distance: "The ability of the person in charge of the army on the other side is not trivial. It's extraordinary. The lord's defeat is decided, and the speed on our side should be accelerated. I'll have to do something else—"
With that, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Not far away, more than a hundred carriages were being concentrated. There were also hundreds of men dressed in Praetorian uniforms, who were filling the cars with sand under the watchful watch of a group of well-armed soldiers.
"Defeat?"
The woman in red armor said in a suspicious voice: "How can this be?"
"You don't know the art of war, so you don't know. ”
The white-robed young man sighed: "Don't look at this square circle formation, it is only eighty zhang away from the base. But without the cover of the arrow array, the trench and the two-layer car wall are like a moat. If we continue to move forward, we will only incur total destruction. ”
The key is that at this moment, not only those bow armors in the rear have suffered a catastrophe. In the Fang Yuan Array, those arrows shot by the Broken Blade Wolf Fang also became weak under the same strong wind, and both the range and lethality were greatly reduced.
Therefore, that square circle array, which seemed to be complete, would surely collapse after a maximum of three or five breaths.
But there is no need to talk about these things in detail with this woman, he just needs to let this woman understand. In today's battle, they must prepare for another battle.
"So it's not just me who has to prepare, but also on your side. Later, the lord, I am afraid that I will have to borrow the power of you. ”
When the red-armored woman heard this, a layer of gloom suddenly appeared on her beautiful face. For this assassination, her brothers and sisters have already sacrificed more than twenty people, and four others have been seriously injured-
But my lord, do you want them to take the risk next?
※ ※ ※ ※
The arrow array commanded by Li Shimin was voluntarily stopped by him after ten consecutive breaths of diffusion. In the short period of time just now, they shot more than 2,700 heavy arrows by any means, and the total number of arrows in their fortress was only more than 30,000.
In addition, they could not reap much more results, and the bow armor three hundred and fifty zhang away had already been shot down by more than 100 statues, and the rest had fled in all directions. Their diffusion can no longer reap the fruits of battle.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not hesitate to throw the arrow in his hand to the Fangyuan array not far away. Although the other party reacted in time, as soon as those leading bow armors were almost completely destroyed, they retreated backwards and scattered in all directions.
But after all, it was a densely populated square array, and it wasn't something that the other party could disperse if they wanted to. The arrows that came out of the barricade* easily caused more than 300 people to fall on the opposite side, including more than 100 damaged armors.
It wasn't until the west side of the barrier that the 'Equipped Iron Rider' Yunlong that had been hidden on the periphery appeared, and the rain of arrows sprinkled from the barrier eased a few points.
Li Shimin had to eliminate the forty leading bow armors under his command, as well as the twenty martial arts six rank powerhouses including himself, out of the arrow array sequence and use them to deter the iron cavalry in the distance. He didn't worry about the other party charging directly into battle - in the absence of the cooperation of the foot soldiers, it was completely looking for death. But the riding bows in the hands of these people made him feel a little jealous.
The bow of the riding bow is shorter, and the range is far less than that of the foot bow, but the place where these iron horses appear is in the west, and the fierce west wind can also make up for it.
The appearance of these 400 mounted iron horses also dispelled Xue Liang's plan to ride to cover up the rebels. And this Xue Liang is the commander of the 200 leopard cavalry in the base, leading the position of captain of Zuo Xiaowei.
But even if these forty bow armors were temporarily stopped, the lethality of the remaining more than 500 bows would still be extraordinary. By the time the thieves on the opposite side completely withdrew into the dense fog, more than 400 people had been killed or wounded, and nearly one-fifth of the casualties had been lost!
And when all the rebels completely withdrew from their range, there was a sudden thunder of joy in the entire car base. Everyone's faces showed a flush of excitement, and the previously low morale instantly surged to its peak.
After that, under the command of Li Shimin, everyone continued to strengthen the fortress. Not long ago, they were suspicious and full of doubts about this young Du Yuhou, who was too young and was temporarily promoted. But at this time, Li Shimin's record of repelling the rebels twice in a row has made almost everyone in the base happy and convinced, and full of confidence.
At this time, Li Shimin's identity as a descendant of the martial arts Li family also began to play a role. If other children of the poor family achieve such achievements, these soldiers of the forbidden army will inevitably have doubts, even unwilling and unhappy, while admiring them. can be replaced by the son-in-law of today's top generals in Kansai, these people will only think to themselves, 'It is really a general's tiger, family history', so they are more and more convinced.
Therefore, when Li Shimin gave the order again, there was no need for the eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson Wuji and others to urge them, and these people spontaneously complied and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Li Shimin himself was also involved, shoveling dirt in the trench with all his might. He guessed that whether it was the monks of the White Horse Temple or the forbidden army from Luoyang City, they could rush here for reinforcements within four hours at most. And these traitors who are considered again also need a certain amount of time to escape from the scene, and the time used for the final battle will be even shorter.
So now, they don't need to worry about physical exertion at all. Li Shimin was going to add another trench on the periphery before the other side launched a third attack, and he had already trapped as many horse pits as possible.
This is estimated to be difficult to the other side, but Li Shimin's idea is to be able to fight for one point, and the advantage is one point.
